Best Attorney in the DFW

I have worked with Ms. Taylor since the start of my divorce in 2017, it's conclusion in 2018 and every issue that has come up since. Through everything the other party has thrown at us (constantly losing counsel, backing out of agreements, and generally prolonging the case) she has handled every asp...ect in my case with urgency, attention to detail, and a grace that only she has. I'm amazed at how she is always able to anticipate the opposing parties next move. A little background on this issue, my son was back and forth to the doctor around Jan 2020 with breathing issues. Finally, he was diagnosed with severe asthma. He had to take different medications and be hooked up to machine several times a day. Then, Covid-19 hit in March 2020. During this time, he were still going to visitation and all parties were made aware of our son's condition and the doctor's recommendation. However, the other party did not follow these guidelines (i.e. taking him to parties) which put him as risk. Ms. Taylor handled this situation thoughtfully. She attempted to work with the other party outside of court and get him to agree to follow the doctor's recommendations and guidelines. Only when the other party refused, did we seek assistance from the courts. The judge ruled in our favor allowing my son to limit his exposure to Covid-19 while getting his asthma under control. I will be forever grateful to Ms. Taylor and her skills as an attorney for helping my family live a happy healthy life.

My favorite lawyer.

I hired Jamie Taylor as my lawyer for a child custody order and she was amazing. Very helpful, patient, kind, understanding and she kept me well informed. I would recommend Jamie to anyone that is in need of a lawyer.

Posted by Meri Lyn | February 18, 2015 | Child Custody

Recommend without reservation

My son, husband and I found ourselves in a very difficult situation suddenly fighting for the safety of a precious child we had only recently become aware of. The family law system was unknown to us and we were still trying to grasp the whole situation. With the guidance and direction provided by Jam...ie Taylor we were able to keep the child safe and establish a safe and happy home for the child. Because of safety issues for the child and actions of others, we found ourselves in court several times during this process. Jamie was always prepared, professional and represented the interests of our family maintaining our goal of “always do what is best for the child.” We recommend Jamie Taylor for child custody situations without reservation.

Jamie Taylor saved me from a bad mediation divorce

I have to admit I did not fully understand the process of a mediation divorce when I entered into it. I was hoping to make our divorce process smoother while saving some money by not having 2 lawyers work out the details. Well after getting into the process and finding out that we both needed our own... lawyers in addition to the mediation lawyer (that's 3 for those who is counting) I was so pleased to have been recommended Ms. Taylor. She reviewed the mediation paperwork and offered several changes on our first meeting. She handled the filing and the remainder of the process professionally while being cost conscious. I would not recommend a mediation divorce to anyone however, I would Highly recommend Ms. Taylor to everyone.

Great lawyer!

Ms. Taylor is extremely knowledgeable about all of the ins and outs of Family Law and gave me so much helpful advice throughout the process. She was super in the courtroom and aggressive when I needed her to be. When it came to final settlement of my case, she worked very hard with the other side... to craft an agreement that worked best for our family and took into consideration our individual needs as opposed to pushing a cookie cutter solution. She made sure she did what was best for our family. I am very grateful for her thoughtfulness in that regard.
